Comments on: Episode 523 – Return of the Matt: Physical to Virtual and Apache Tomcat3 http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-523 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:00:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: pixel http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-523/comment-page-1#comment-37360 pixel Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:12:50 +0000 http://www.hak5.org/?p=1353#comment-37360 Mmm, typical tomcat/java hatery :) Curious that Squarespace thing that you love so much is Java based :) As a 5 year enterprise Java developer (who also educated all the syadmins in looking after this stuff), I can tell you that Tomcat and Java are WAY overkill if all you really need is a LAMP server. But if you want an extremely stable, scalable, clusterable, expandable, enterprise-level system, then it blows most other platforms out of the water, including that Microsoft tat. Just don't try to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Or a muppet to create said application. I hope you're going to conclude this little series by showing how Java web/app servers should be run in a dedicated app LAN, separated by firewalls from the DB LAN and DMZ, with Apache using ProxyPass and AJP13 to load-balance traffic to a clustered Tomcat installation. (If you want more info on this let me know). Oh yeah, and the only good desktop app created in Java is the Eclipse IDE; Java sucks on the desktop.

Many of us use it in production and development environments alike; both on company products & home hacks. Not all of us work in Microsoft shops. I'm curious if you have any real complaints about it. You might also look into other products: - JBoss - Glassfish To parrot what Ron posted, I was saddened to here you guys bashing Tomcat.

Just made me very happy and my job a hell of a lot easier.

I also really like the concept of a series of episodes with diffrent aspects of one topic. So keep it up that way! (by the way, you won't need to think of that much stuff to cover in a season) Will there be a show that covers Software-virtualisation? would be great! To Matt: regards, also from me. Been trough that too...and it's hard! Thanks! from Luxembourg Seef Hey, great episode!

Can you post the build and suppliers if possible? This sounds like what I've been looking for and for under 2 grand. I would love to see it. Thanks....Great show! The Dell 490 build sounds GREAT!

We've got a USB toolkit segment planned for 524, then we're shooting 525 in San Francisco, so probably 526--the last episode of season5! (season6 begins the following week). Noctarius, thanks for the linky :)

Maybe Daren can show it in one of the next shows too. Instead of Tomcat Manager in Daren’s part I would advise to use Probe (http://www.lambdaprobe.org/d/index.htm).
